Chapter 102: The Origin of the Jade Pendant
As a super first-tier city in China, the magic capital is also the largest economic center in China, and its prosperity is naturally not much to say. Eight] Eight] Reading] Book, .2โ3.ยขo
All kinds of high-rise buildings are lined up one after another, and the vehicles on the road are endless, and Li Lin has fully experienced it from the high-speed rail.
Li Lin came to the office building of Jiahua Auction House, and after explaining his intention to the staff, he was warmly received, but he asked Li Lin to re-appraise the two things to be auctioned, and the appraisers of their auction house were responsible for the appraisal.
Li Lin was not surprised by this, you can't just bring something and say something, people will believe what it is, right? The auction house will definitely conduct another appraisal, and if the results of the appraisal show that they do not meet the collection standards of their auction house, they will not accept it.
Li Lin followed the staff to their appraisal office, as one of the four major auction houses in China, their appraiser lineup is also quite luxurious, although I don't know how strong, but there are more than 10 people alone, Li Lin was taken by the staff to an old man who looks about the same age as Mr. Liu, introduced by the staff, this old gentleman's surname is Li, but it is a coincidence, and he has a surname.
It's just that this old man Li with the same surname didn't see any preferential treatment for Li Lin for everyone's surname Li, but had a trace of arrogance. Of course, he didn't know that Li Lin was also surnamed Li, because he hadn't looked at Li Lin so far, he just picked up the box handed over by Li Lin and didn't say a word.
Li Lin had two previous experiences, this time, he specially bought two boxes before coming to the auction house, one for his calligraphy and one for the jade pendant. This also shows that he attaches great importance to these two things.
Mr. Li first looked at the calligraphy work, and his expression was the same as that of Mr. Liu, and it was also from the carelessness at the beginning to the slow seriousness at the back, and he looked more carefully with a magnifying glass in his hand.
After a long while, he put down the magnifying glass and looked at Li Lin seriously, as if to see who he was, but in the end, he didn't ask anything, obviously, they also pay attention to the protection of the customer.
Then, he gave an appraisal result for this calligraphy, which was almost no different from the previous statement of Old Man Liu. It is also determined that it is the work of Mr. Yu Youren, but the difference is that the valuation he gave to this thing is more than 2.5 million, which is about 500,000 yuan higher than the price given by Mr. Liu, but at that time, Mr. Liu also said that it will not be less than 2 million, so it seems that there is nothing wrong.
With this work as the foundation, Mr. Li's attitude towards Li Lin was also better, and he asked the staff to pour Li Lin a cup of tea, and when he picked up the second box, he was not as careless as before, after all, the first thing is worth more than one million, and he can already participate in the auction at this price, who knows if his second thing will also be a treasure.
This auction is not something that anyone can go on if they want to, after all, an auction is so long, and the things that participate in the auction are always limited, so the auction house will not let them go to the auction if the value is too low, but obviously, Li Lin's calligraphy work has met the requirements of the auction, so it is understandable that Mr. Li is polite to Li Lin, after all, although there are many antiques, it is not so easy to see those that can be worth more than 2 million.
Old man Liu opened the box, the first thing he saw was a jade pendant, in the antique shop, jade is also a popular collection, although it is not as popular as calligraphy and porcelain, but it is also a large category of collections.
Old Man Li picked up a magnifying glass and looked at it, and soon, he was sure that this was an ancient jade, but although the value of jade was related to the age of production, its texture accounted for a larger proportion. Then, Mr. Li judged that it was carved from mutton fat white jade, and mutton fat white jade is a fine material in jade, and the price is high.
The more Mr. Liu looked at it, the more frightened he became, this jade pendant not only has a very good material, but also, he also vaguely judged that the identity of the person wearing it is not simple, which makes its value rise sharply, after all, playing antique collection, this historical value is also a very important part, sometimes the same thing, just because his owner is different, its price will be very different, collection is the collection of culture, especially historical culture.
Li Lin looked at Old Man Li for a long time and didn't mean to stop, and even, he called other appraisers in this appraisal office to gather around this jade pendant for appraisal, and several people discussed a few words from time to time, and seemed to have completely forgotten the existence of Li Lin, the owner of the jade pendant.
It wasn't until Li Lin was a little impatient that the appraisers stopped observing, and the others left one after another, but when they left, they all glanced at Li Lin, which made Li Lin a little baffled.
In the end, there were only Li Lin and Old Man Li, and the old man spoke: "According to the results of our appraisal and discussion, your jade pendant should be carved during the Kangxi period. โ
Li Lin nodded, and Old Man Li continued: "Do you know his master?"
Li Lin shook his head, I don't know anything about this thing, how do I know. ใโ ใโ ๏ผ
Old Man Li didn't have much hope for Li Lin, but continued: "If we are not mistaken, his master is Kangxi's thirteenth son, Yunxiang, who later became Prince Yixian. โ
Li Lin is still a little at a loss, if he wants to talk about the emperors Kangxi, Yongzheng, and Qianlong, he can still know something, but Li Lin doesn't know much about their children.
"This Prince Yixian was very popular with Emperor Kangxi when he was young, and every time he went on patrol, he would definitely take him with him. Moreover, he can be literate and martial, good at riding and shooting, and is an all-round talent in civil and military affairs. Emperor Kangxi once sent him to Mount Tai to worship his father on behalf of the sky, which was a very prudent thing for the ancient emperors, so that many people felt that his future was unlimited. โ
Li Lin listened to the old man's explanation very carefully, he usually didn't care much about these things, but now he listens to them, and he thinks it's very interesting.
"It's just that later, this thirteenth elder brother was involved in the case of Emperor Kangxi's abolition of the crown prince, and since then there has been no news for a while, and he has never been sealed, and he has a good relationship with the fourth elder brother Yinzhen, and this fourth elder brother is the later Emperor Yongzheng, and immediately after he ascended the throne, he was named Prince Yi, and he was very good to him. And this Prince Yi did not disappoint him, and handled the things he assigned him properly. Old Man Li said.
"And your jade pendant is what Emperor Yongzheng rewarded him after he dealt with a ** case in the third year of Yongzheng, it is said that this jade pendant was worn when Emperor Yongzheng was still a prince, and his love for him can be seen in general. โ
Old Man Liu spoke slowly, and finally told the source of this jade pendant, and this source is not small!
